DAYZERO

This week on DAYZERO, Angus is joined by Ben Gaze — Head of Partnerships here at FOUNDIT and longtime proptech commentator — to unpack where real innovation happens when product, data, and distribution meet.

From early days mastering off-market sales to launching digital proposals and scaling data pipelines, Ben shares why efficiency beats busywork, how buyers’ agents went from niche to necessary, and the tech gaps holding great operators at ~30–40 deals a year. He breaks down the traits of top buyers’ agents, why matching beats mass emailing, and how FOUNDIT is removing non-productive tasks so partners can focus on faster decisions, cleaner deals, and better outcomes.
